Adra Australia, Wahroonga, NSW

Who is ADRA? For over 50 years, the Adventist Development and Relief Agency (or ADRA as we’re better known as!) has been implementing life-changing projects around the world. ADRA is an international (meaning our work is spread all around the world) humanitarian (we work to improve the lives of people) organisation. ADRA is the official humanitarian heart of the Seventh-day Adventist Church and we’re committed to being a literal representation of Jesus’ hands and feet all around the word. We have a presence in 126 countries around the world and more than 30 million people have been touched by ADRA’s life-changing work. What’s good to know is - no one is left out of ADRA’s reach. ADRA is committed to assisting all people - regardless of their ethnicity, their race or their religious, political or gender affiliation. We believe Christ’s ministry of compassion should extend to everyone and anyone who is in need. Our Mission Statement ADRA Australia works with people in poverty and distress to create just and positive change through empowering partnerships and responsible action. What does that mean? ADRA Australia’s mission is to work with those most in need - whether they are those who are suffering through poverty or those who have been affected by disaster, or both. We want to be an agency that provides life-altering change for those who come in contact with us - long-lasting and positive change. How do we go about achieving this? We partner and work with up-to-date, accredited and professional partners, whether it is through government agencies or other ADRA offices. We will always strive to do what is right, and create balanced, fair and equal opportunities and work in responsible ways.
